TEHRAN - Mehdi Razmian became the latest Iranian winner in the World Taekwondo Junior Championships on day four in Chuncheon.

He delivered a dominant display against Spain’s Jairo Agenjo Trigos in the men’s -48kg.

Iran extended their lead at the top of the World Taekwondo Junior Championships medal table through an accomplished performance from the taekwondo athlete.

Razmian had required three rounds in three of his matches earlier in the day – against Thailand’s Sorachat Sawasri in the round of 64, Abdullah Essa A Almushraf of Saudi Arabia in the quarter-finals and Kazakhstan’s Temirzhan Taskyn in the semi-finals. 

However, there were no signs of tiredness with his display in the final. He controlled the first round well and won it 6-1 to take the lead in the match. The Iranian athlete was 15cm taller than Agenjo Trigos, and in the second round he made full advantage of that, triumphing 12-2.

Agenjo Trigos in contrast had not dropped a round on his way from the round of 64 to the final, including a second-round victory by technical superiority against Uzbekistan’s Bekhruz Salimov in the semi-finals.

Taskyn and Salimov won the bronze medals following their runs to the semi-finals.
